Sinclaire Gibson ’27
I am from words,
From books and from literature.
I am from the stories I read as a child.
(Noble princes saving damsels in distress.
Talking gnomes and spiteful elves.)
I am from the poetry that sat on our dining room shelves,
Prose that stood patiently closed,
Waiting to be taken down,
Opened, read.
And to someday
Be made into my own.
